Help me pay for laparoscopic cyst removal at Coimbatore University Hospital
Divya needs laparoscopic cyst removal at Coimbatore University Hospital and the family is $750 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇳 Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India1,677 views
In July I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Coimbatore University Hospital recommended laparoscopic cyst removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $750 short.
Doctors at Coimbatore University Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without laparoscopic cyst removal. I work as a market vendor, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,000 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a market vendor have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $490
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $40
• Physiotherapy sessions: $135
• Post-operative medication: $85
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Sherbrooke.
You're not alone, Divya. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Divya. Wishing Divya a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
